The short man surnamed Zhou died in the end.

However, he did not die at the hands of Lu Chengfeng, but in the process of chasing and escaping, he strayed into the territory of a sand lizard group. The sand lizard king, who had an eighth-order strength and an extremely hideous face, suddenly came out of the floating sand, opened his bloody mouth, and swallowed him violently. The sharp teeth with a terrifying bite only took a moment to tear his body apart.

After swallowing it in three or two bites, the Sand Lizard King felt a little hungry, and turned his head to look at Lu Chengfeng.

In the face of such a monster, Lu Chengfeng was also a little jealous. Almost at the same time that the short man died, he turned around and sped away. The Sand Lizard King's reaction was a beat slower, and he had the intention to chase a few hundred meters, but finally gave up.

Zu Liang, who caught up from behind, also saw the appearance of the Sand Lizard King, and couldn't help but gasp.

This desert is more dangerous than you think.

After a few complaints, the two returned the way they came, and began to continue their search. Although there was such an accident for a time, he had a fight with the people of the Tianyuan Zhou family, and in the end he didn't get any benefits, but Lu Chengfeng was in a good mood. First, his strength has indeed made great progress, and second, the appearance of the Zhou family means that there is likely to be something good here.

After a few hours of arduous trekking through the desert, the two men gradually approached the extent of Pompeii.

This active volcano, which was uplifted thousands of years ago, is at least three or four thousand meters high. It's not very active anymore, but it still smokes from time to time. Around Pompeii, solidified magma rocks and erupting sulfur and ash can be seen everywhere. Of course, in addition to these common things, there is also a unique vein in the hundreds of miles near here. It is with this resource that the Village of Confusion has the capital to trade with foreign caravans.

The weather in the desert can be unpredictable, one moment it may be sunny, the next it will be a sandstorm. Lu Chengfeng and Zu Liang unfortunately encountered a desert storm. The wild sand in the sky is whistling in the eighth-level or even ninth-level winds, and there is a feeling of covering the sky and the sun. There is a good chance that ordinary people will be blown away directly, or buried by quicksand. Lu Chengfeng and Zu Liang hid behind the sand dunes for an hour with the armor of Douqi, and only then did they survive this difficult time.

Next, according to the guidance on the map, the two of them escaped the attacks of sand ants and blood butterflies one after another, and it was almost night, and they arrived at their destination.

It's not too far from the foot of Pompeii, and you can smell the faint smell of sulfur in the wind. At first glance, there is nothing dry here except the gray-and-red rocks. However, according to the guidance of the map, after the two of them turned half a circle along the uneven mountain, they found a naturally cracked cave in an inconspicuous mountain col.

This is the entrance to the ruins of the former royal family?

If it weren't for the reliability of this map, Lu Chengfeng and Zu Liang would have doubted it. After all, the cave looks so mundane, much like a natural crack after an earthquake. Looking from the outside, the three-meter-high cave is twisted and curved, and the inside is so dark that you can't see anything. However, after a moment of careful observation, Lu Chengfeng found traces left by the entry and exit of human beings here, and it was obviously recent.

"It's a good thing that the adventurer was able to find here. ”

After inspecting the site, Zu Liang couldn't help but sigh. If it were him, he would definitely have no idea to see such an inconspicuous crack entrance in the col at the foot of the volcano.

"Let's go. ”

Lu Chengfeng asked the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle to patrol the air at the entrance to prevent any accidents, and he himself summoned and walked in with Zu Liang.

The person who drew this map was able to pass through the previous desert, proving that he must have some strength. Once here, he didn't go any further, proving that there were probably some unpredictable dangers in this underground ruin. Otherwise, he would definitely explore alone, monopolize the good things inside, and finally enter the mouth, without knowing it

Zu Liang obviously thought of this as well, and he proposed to let Lu Chengfeng's sword statue explore the way in front.

As Lu Chengfeng's strength soared, the combat power of this statue became more and more insufficient. However, because the defense is not bad, it is indeed a good choice to explore the way in such an unknown place. After letting it hold the torch in front, the two followed behind, gradually descending deeper into the crack cave.

For the first 100 meters, the cave was curved and narrow. In some places, only two people are allowed to pass side by side. However, as the terrain began to gradually decrease, the passage began to quickly become wider. Lu Chengfeng estimated the altitude and walked down. When they almost reached the place of ** ten meters underground, they bypassed a bend in front of them, and the two of them suddenly entered a vast underground world.

Because the scene in front of him was too shocking, even Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but lose his mind. It took a long moment for him to let out a sigh of relief, and to take a closer look at the half-destroyed underground ruins.

That's right, what appeared in front of them was the capital of the Beiyi Kingdom that was destroyed by the abyss demon Steele, and then induced a volcano, and finally collapsed into the ground. In their minds, the underworld was supposed to be dark and lifeless, but it wasn't. On the zenith of more than ten meters high, there are unknown fluorescent grasses, emitting faint green points of light in the dark. Some of the crystals formed by the eruption of flames are also emitting a faint fluorescence. In the distance of the ruins, there was also a large dark red glow that stretched to the end of the line of sight. These three rays of light intertwine to make this underground world look strange and magnificent.

After adapting to the environment here, Lu Chengfeng noticed the location of the two, roughly in a corner of the city.

From here, in the distance, you can see large areas of collapsed ruins. Many of the undersides of the ruined buildings, as well as the streets, are surrounded by cooled lava, and some are gradually crumbling over time. Only a very small number of buildings reinforced with special materials and magic can be preserved in the present, allowing the two of them to get a glimpse of the architectural style of the royal family back then!

With a little nostalgia for the monuments, the two began to walk along the ruins towards the center of the city.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but it seems that the further you go, the fewer well-preserved buildings there are. On the other hand, on the ground and on the ruined buildings, a special kind of black foundation pillars such as steel pipes began to appear. The material of this thing is very special, it looks like stone, but it has a metallic texture, and it has an incredible weight and hardness. Lu Chengfeng tried to cut it with the Ice Flame Sword, and found that with the advantage of the six-grade light sword, it was difficult to leave marks on it. This discovery surprised Lu Chengfeng and Zu Liangdu. How did such a sturdy pillar, with a diameter of nearly one meter and a height of six or seven meters, be cut?
